Final Fantasy V (ファイナルファンタジーV Fainaru Fantajī Faibu?) is a console role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) in 1992 as a part of the Final Fantasy video game series. The game first appeared only in Japan on the Nintendo Super Famicom (known internationally as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System). It has been ported with minor differences to the Sony PlayStation and the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. An anime OVA produced in 1994 called Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals serves as a sequel to the events depicted in the game.[3] Image File history File links This is the cover art for a video or computer game. ...

The game begins as a wanderer named Bartz investigates a fallen meteor. There, he encounters several characters who reveal the danger facing the four Crystals that control the world's elements. These Crystals act as a seal on Exdeath, an evil sorcerer who once threatened their world. Bartz and his party must keep the Crystals from being exploited by Exdeath's influence and prevent his resurgence.


Final Fantasy V has been praised for the freedom of customization that the player has over the characters, achieved through the greatly expanded Job System. Despite the lack of an early release in territories other than Japan, the Super Famicom version sold over 2 million copies.[4] The PlayStation version has earned "Greatest Hits" status, selling more than 350,000 copies.[5] These are PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable games that have been made Greatest Hits games in the US by Sony. ...

The Job System is a defining feature of Final Fantasy V.

Final Fantasy V includes many standard role-playing elements, as well as renovated features introduced in earlier Final Fantasy games. Characters grow in strength by gaining experience points from random encounters with monsters on the overworld or in a dungeon. Experience culminates in a "level up" where party members' attributes such as hit points or magic power increase. A menu-based management system allows the player to equip, heal, and change each character's selected job outside of battle, as well as save the game's progress. The player can traverse a large overworld by foot, chocobo, wind drake, or airship depending on the situation. Towns scattered across the world normally contain inns for resting, shops for purchasing equipment and people from who the player can gain information. The player may also embark on several side quests that become available as the story progresses.[6] Final Fantasy V is the first game in the series to contain timed events, in which the player must complete certain tasks under a timer that depletes both in and out of battle.[7] Image File history File links Final_Fantasy_V_-_Job_System. ...

Job System

The main feature of the gameplay of Final Fantasy V is the Job System designed by Hiroyuki Itō, improved from its Final Fantasy III incarnation. This system allows each character to gain special abilities and potentially master up to twenty-two unique jobs. Each character begins with a default "Freelancer" class, and as the player acquires crystal shards, new jobs become available.[8] Hiroyuki Itō (JP:伊藤 裕之) is a game director and designer for Square Enix, and is most known for his work in the role-playing game series, Final Fantasy. ...

A separate form of experience—Ability Points (ABP)—is used to improve characters' job levels, while they continue to earn regular experience points.[8] As job levels increase, new skills become available for that character to use in a new form of customization: characters learn job-specific abilities that may be carried over to a new job. For example, a character with the job of Knight who has also mastered Black Magic may set Black Magic as a secondary command; this would allow the use of both Black Mage and Knight abilities in battle. The nature of these abilities vary; while some may allow for selectable commands in battle, others may be innate to the class or automatically activated when conditions are met, such as the Thief's "Caution" skill, which prevents rear attacks from enemies. This system allows for deeper customization of characters.[9] While many of the jobs have appeared previously in the series, Final Fantasy V introduces a number of new classes including the Blue Mage, Time Mage, and Mime, adding new elements to combat.

Active Time Battle

Final Fantasy V is the second Final Fantasy game to use the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, in which time flows continuously for both the player and enemies during combat.[8] This system was first established in Final Fantasy IV by battle planners Hiroyuki Itō and Akihiko Matsui.[10] In that game, however, there was no way to visibly anticipate which character's turn would come up next.[11] In Final Fantasy V, the player can see which playable character's turn is next in battle, in the form of a time gauge—or “ATB Bar”—which fills according to a character's speed. When the selected character's turn arrives, the player can execute one of several commands, such as attacking the enemy with an equipped weapon, using a special ability or item, or changing the character's row position. The ATB mechanic with a gauge as seen in Final Fantasy V has persisted in nearly every title in the series, as well as other Square games such as Chrono Trigger.

Plot

Setting

Final Fantasy V takes place within three distinct worlds; one on which the player begins the game, another that is traveled to after a specific story arc; and another world, which is actually a mix of the other two. Character dialogue reveals that one millennium before the events of the main story unfold, the worlds existed as one. A powerful mage named Enuo, using the power of an evil entity known as the "Void," imperiled the world. Its people retaliated, using twelve legendary weapons to vanquish Enuo. Because the Void could not be destroyed, the people split the world's four elemental Crystals into two sets, which sequentially caused the world itself to split. The Void then became sealed in a dimensional cleft between the two worlds.[12] Nearly one thousand years passed without incident and both worlds prospered due to the powers of their Crystals of Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth. Several kingdoms and towns developed, and travel by ship acted as a prominent means of commerce and communication. A fictional universe is an imaginary world that serves as the setting or backdrop for one or (more commonly) multiple works of fiction or translatable non-fiction. ...

At some point, an evil spirit was born in an ancient tree in the Moore Forest of one of the worlds. The being emerged as Exdeath, the game's primary antagonist. As he attempted to claim the world for himself, a group of heroes called the "Four Warriors of Dawn" defeated and sealed him within the parallel world using its Crystals, and peace returned for another thirty years.[13] Final Fantasy V opens after this three-decade period. This is a list of characters in the role-playing game Final Fantasy V. Final Fantasy V features five player characters; however, only four are ever in the party at a time. ...


One of the unique races in the game are the Kelb, who appear as a race of anthropomorphic wolves living in Kelb Village. They are well-known for their culinary abilities. If anyone goes to the nearby Valley of Dragons, a ceremony consisting of three Kelb in a line running around in circles is performed in the hopes that the adventurers will return safely. Early on in the game, a Kelb (known to the citizens of Karnak as Werewolf) arrives by meteor on Bartz's world to look for Galuf. In the dungeon of Walz Castle, there is a Kelb pickpocket named Lone Wolf. Final Fantasy VI also has a Lone Wolf, the pickpocket; while he appears as an anthropomorphic wolf, he is not stated to be a Kelb.[citation needed] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Characters

Final Fantasy V features five player characters, only four of which are playable at a given time. They include Bartz Klauser, a traveling adventurer who becomes involved in the game's events when he investigates the site of a meteorite strike, and whose father was once one of the Four Warriors of Dawn who defeated the mage Exdeath; Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, a princess of Tycoon who follows her father to investigate the Wind Shrine where she is knocked unconscious and saved from a group of goblins by Bartz; Galuf Doe, a mysterious old man discovered unconscious near the meteorite who suffers from amnesia; Faris Scherwiz, a pirate captain who captures Bartz, Lenna, and Galuf when they try to steal her ship, and is later revealed to be Sarisa Scherwill Tycoon, the lost daughter of King Tycoon and Lenna's sister; and Krile Mayer Baldesion, the granddaughter of Galuf who journeys with him to the planet and receives all of her grandfather's abilities after his death.

Most of the main characters in the game were involved with or related to people who defeated Exdeath thirty years previous, such as Bartz's father Dorgann Klauser, Kelger Vlondett and Xezat Matias Surgate, three of the original Four Warriors of Dawn. The game also contains several supporting characters including the engineer Cid Previa (keeping the series tradition of having a character named Cid), his grandson Mid Previa, and the turtle sage Ghido. One of Exdeath's henchmen, Gilgamesh, is a recurring mini-boss and would later appear in other games such as Final Fantasy VIII.[14] This is a list of characters in the role-playing game Final Fantasy V.

Story

King Tycoon approaches the Wind Crystal seconds before it shatters
King Tycoon approaches the Wind Crystal seconds before it shatters

Final Fantasy V begins on a day when the world's wind currents begin to slow down. Concerned, the King of Tycoon flies off on Hiryuu to the Wind Shrine which holds the Crystal of Wind, only to see it shatter into pieces upon his arrival. Meanwhile, a meteorite plunges to the planet's surface in the lands near Tycoon Castle. Resting with his chocobo Boko in the woods, Bartz decides to investigate the meteor crash, where he comes across a young woman named Lenna under attack by goblins. He rescues her and they soon discover an old man in the wreckage unable to remember anything except his own name: Galuf. Lenna explains that she is on her way to the Wind Shrine, where her father has gone to discover why the wind has suddenly ceased. Galuf, suddenly realizing that he needs to go there without knowing why, accompanies her. Bartz continues on his way, but is unable to get far before Boko forces him to return and rescue them from more goblins. The three then decide to travel together to the Wind Shrine. However, the path to Tule Village is blocked by the meteor's wreckage, leaving water as the only route. With the help of the pirate captain Faris, the group makes its way to the Wind Shrine, only to discover a missing King Tycoon and the shattered Wind Crystal. The shards, as well as the world's other three crystals, react to their presence. An image of King Tycoon appears and explains to the four of them that they are charged as the chosen warriors that must protect the Crystals to prevent an ancient evil from being revived and devastating their world.[15] Image File history File links Final_Fantasy_V_death_crystal_screenshot. ...

They find that the four elemental crystals on the planet are actually the seal binding the warlock Exdeath, who was once bent on destroying their world. Unfortunately, each crystal is being exploited for its powers, and this, accompanied with their pending destruction, is causing them stress that will eventually make the world itself uninhabitable.[16] Bartz and his companions attempt to save each of the remaining crystals – the Crystal of Water at the tower of Walse, the Crystal of Fire at Karnak, and the Crystal of Earth at Gohn – but ultimately fail. As they attempt to save the last Crystal they meet Krile, Galuf's granddaughter, who helps restore Galuf's memory completely. He remembers that he is actually from a distant world and quickly departs with his granddaughter. With the help of the engineers Cid and Mid, whom they met at Karnak and the Library of Ancients, Bartz and the others resolve to travel to Galuf's world, Exdeath's true target. The warlock is already wreaking havoc when they arrive, battling armies of men on the Big Bridge. Bartz, Lenna, and Faris are ultimately captured. Galuf flies in on his wind drake to save them, defeating Gilgamesh, one of Exdeath's lieutenants, in the process. However, the warriors are blown to a distant continent when a barrier is activated during their escape. Thanks to Krile, her wind drake, and a group of moogles, they make their way to Bal Castle, a place in which Galuf is king.[17] This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...

The death of Galuf in the Game Boy Advance rerelease

Searching for the legendary Dragon Grass to heal their wind drake, the party meets Kelger, Galuf's companion and one the Four Warriors of Dawn, who reveals to Bartz his father's past as one of the Warriors. Galuf and the others also seek help from Ghido, a sage who originally predicted the destruction of the Crystals on Bartz's world, but narrowly escape the island he inhabits before Exdeath causes it to sink. The warriors immediately join up with one of Galuf's companions, Xezat, who is leading a fleet against Exdeath. They infiltrate one of the towers powering the barrier around Exdeath's castle, but Xezat is forced to sacrifice his life in order to help them accomplish it. Making their way back to Ghido's sunken island, they regroup with the turtle sage, who explains Exdeath's origin as the mage Enuo, and the significance of the Moore Forest in which Exdeath was born. Bartz and his party resolve to reach the Guardian Tree to dispel the seals within it. However, Exdeath, having claimed the power of the Crystals, immobilizes them. Krile arrives on her wind drake to temporarily stop Exdeath, but the warlock imprisons her in a ring of fire. Galuf summons the strength to break free, saves his granddaughter, and fights Exdeath until he collapses. Exdeath retreats, leaving Galuf to die of his wounds, despite the party's efforts to save him. As the four of them leave the Guardian Tree, Galuf's spirit imparts upon Krile all of his abilities.[18] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The party enters Exdeath's castle and defeats him, but the three remaining crystals shatter and the worlds are reunited. They learn that he seeks the power of the Void, which had been sealed in the dimensional interval called the Rift and kept sealed by dividing the worlds. Exdeath has acquired this power, and he uses it across the newly combined world, consuming entire towns and kingdoms. After having recombined an ancient book entailing the seals on the Tablets that hold the twelve legendary weapons within Kuza Castle, used against Enuo one millennium ago, Ghido proposes that the party collect them as quickly as possible.

Exdeath's birth (from a full motion video in the PlayStation rerelease)

Bartz and others seek out the Tablets and break the seals on the weapons, slaying several monsters from the Rift that Exdeath sends after them. The party eventually enters the Rift, where Exdeath has acquired the power of the Void and shows his true form - that of a tree, one that had been possessed by an evil spirit. With help from the original Four Warriors of Dawn and King Tycoon, the party survives the Void and begins a final battle with Exdeath. As he loses strength, Exdeath is overwhelmed by the Void and becomes Neo Exdeath, intent on destroying everything, even himself.[19] The party destroys him, and, using the power of the Crystal shards within themselves, vanquish the Void and return form to the shattered Crystals of the original world.

The game's ending varies based on how many people are still alive at Neo Exdeath's defeat. Cid receives a letter from one member of the party talking about what will happen in the future. If everyone survives the final battle, Krile will visit the Guardian Tree to mourn for her grandfather, until Bartz, Lenna, and Faris arrive to comfort her and remind her of her duty to protect the Crystals. If anyone in the group dies during the battle, they will be unable to return home. Instead, the survivor or survivors will visit the Guardian Tree, and find that those who were lost in the battle have returned to life.

Early localization attempts

RPGe’s translation of Final Fantasy V was one of the early major fan-translated works.

The official English translation of Final Fantasy V took place shortly after the Japanese version's release. According to a 1993 issue of Square's Ogopogo Examiner newsletter, the game was to be released and titled "Final Fantasy III" in North America.[27] However, its localization never took place, and an English version of Final Fantasy VI transcended it the following year. Translator Ted Woolsey explained in a 1994 interview, "it's just not accessible enough to the average gamer."[28] Plans were later made to release the game in 1995 as "Final Fantasy Extreme," targeting it at "the more experienced gamers [who] loved the complex character building." For unknown reasons, Final Fantasy Extreme never materialized either. Image File history File links Final_Fantasy_V_Active_Time_Battle_screenshot. ...

In 1997, video game studio Top Dog Software was hired by Square to port the original Super Famicom game to Microsoft Windows-based personal computers for North American release.[29][30] Although a good deal of the game was completed, communication problems between the Top Dog and Square's Japanese and American branches led to the project's demise. That same year, an unofficial English fan translation patch for the Final Fantasy V ROM image was released on the internet by translation group RPGe.[31] It is often cited as the first RPG to be completely translated by fans.[32]

Japanese Final Fantasy V boxart for PlayStation

Final Fantasy V was ported by TOSE to the Sony PlayStation and re-released in Japan on March 19, 1998 and was included in the Final Fantasy Collection release of 1999, alongside Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI.[2][33] The PlayStation version boasted two new full motion video opening and ending sequences and a "memo-save" feature, but was otherwise unchanged.[34][8] The same year, the PlayStation compilation Final Fantasy Anthology was released in North America, which included Final Fantasy V, as well as the PlayStation version of Final Fantasy VI. This would be the first time the game was published outside of Japan, nearly seven years after its initial release. In 2002, this version of the game was released in Europe and Australia, this time alongside Final Fantasy IV.[35] Final Fantasy V (PSX) box art This is the cover art for a video game. ...

In 2000, Sony published a list of PlayStation games incompatible with their recently released PlayStation 2 console. Final Fantasy Anthology was included due to a graphical error that sometimes occurs in Final Fantasy V when attempting to save the game, causing the screen to become "jumbled" and difficult to navigate.[38] Shortly after the report by Sony, Square issued a statement assuring that the game is not completely incompatible and offered a simple solution to the problem.[39] 2000 2000 in games 1999 in video gaming 2001 in video gaming Notable events of 2000 in video gaming. ... “PS2” redirects here. ...


Game Boy Advance rerelease

North American Final Fantasy V Advance boxart for Game Boy Advance

Final Fantasy V was ported a second time by TOSE to the Nintendo Game Boy Advance as Final Fantasy V Advance (ファイナルファンタジーVアドバンス Fainaru Fantajī Faibu Adobansu?), which was released on October 12, 2006 in Japan, November 6, 2006 in North America[40], and April 20th, 2007 in Europe. Similar to the Game Boy Advance rereleases of its predecessors, this version features updated graphics and an interface optimized for the Game Boy Advance screen. Additional features include four new jobs (Gladiator, Cannoneer, Necromancer, and Oracle), a new 30-floor bonus dungeon, and an additional stage called the "Cloister of the Dead". The character Enuo mentioned in the backstory of Final Fantasy V now appears as an optional boss; instead of being designed by character designer Yoshitaka Amano, Enuo's appearance was designed by monster designer Tetsuya Nomura.[41] Also added was a bestiary, a quick save function, music player, and additional equipment in the style of previous GBA re-releases.[42][43] Like the Game Boy Advance remakes of its predecessors, Final Fantasy V Advance also features a new English translation. This new localization features some unusual references to US pop-culture, such as dialogue referring to The Simpsons and PBS's Reading Rainbow.[44][45]

Final Fantasy V has sold 2.45 million units worldwide on the Super Famicom, while the North American Anthology version has sold 364,000 copies as of 2004.[4][5] As Final Fantasy V was not released outside of Japan until 1999 in Final Fantasy Anthology, many English-language reviews were for the Anthology version, both Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI together. GameSpot issued a score of 8.1/10, stating, "mediocre packaging and emulation quirks aside, it's hard not to like Final Fantasy Anthology."[9] IGN gave the collection a 9/10 rating, noting Final Fantasy V's dated graphics but "incredibly engrossing" job system.[46] RPGFan's stand-alone import review observed a somewhat cliché storyline, a lack of character development, and unevolved sound quality from Final Fantasy IV, presenting it an overall 75%.[47] RPGamer found that the game improved upon the visual presentation, menu system, and overall field navigation of Final Fantasy IV, but that the "maddeningly high encounter rate," "average sound selection," and "washed out" color palette warrant it an average 5/10.[48] In March 2006, Final Fantasy V ranked #15 on Japanese magazine Famitsu's reader list of top 100 video games of all time.[49] 1UP.com is a video-game site owned and operated by Ziff Davis Media, publisher of popular videogame magazines Computer Gaming World (CGW) (now known as Games for Windows: The Official Magazine (or GFW) Magazine), Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM), and the now-defunct Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine (OPM), GMR...
